It's all very simple really. The message is that there are known knowns - there are things that we know that we know. There are known unknowns - that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns - there are things we do not know we don't know. And each year we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns. ;-) http://www.timble.me.uk/funny/rumsfeld.html -- Gary R.
